Thanks. </ tin foil hat>
I think many are deluding themselves. The left has a coalition of wealthy liberals, takers and shallow women who think Republicans want to co-opt their vaginas that exceeds our ability to turn out more votes in national elections. Based just on 2008 they had a bank of 9 million more votes to withdraw from and I have little doubt they could have done so if necessary. It is simply much easier to herd urban votes than it is to herd suburban and rural votes.
There is no way to overcome this and remain a conservative party with conservative principles. so I predict that when I’m dead and gone there will still be two major parties but one will be center left and the other will be far left until it all comes crashing down. Violently I might add.
